Noticeboard

Out of HoursWhen the surgery is closed please dial 111.

Home VisitsPatients may need to ask for a home visit if they are genuinely house bound or too ill to visit the surgery. We ask that you aim to contact us before 11am if possible, unless it is an emergency, to enable the GP to plan their rounds for the day. All home visits will be assessed by the GP who will make telephone contact first to discuss access arrangements and visiting times.

Test ResultsIf you need to ring the surgery for test or x-ray results ordered by the practice, please ring between 2.00 p.m.- 4.00 p.m. on 01643 703289.

Patient Participation Group Members Needed

Our Patient Participation Group (PPG) is on the lookout for new members to fill vacancies after the departure of two long-serving group members. Patients from any background are welcome and we would particularly like to attract young people and those aged up to 39 years who are currently not represented on our face-to-face group.

The PPG usually meets on the last Friday of ever other month from 12.30pm to 2pm and lunch is provided.

Choosing the Right NHS Service

West Somerset Healthwise is a publication designed to inform patients of the most appropriate NHS service to choose according to symptoms and urgency. It includes useful contacts for eye conditions and dental emergency. Choosing well ensures you receive the right care at the right time and that emergency care is available to those people who need it the most. The publication is available in GP surgeries and has been produced by the West Somerset GP Federation.

Register for Online Access

GP telephone consultations can now be booked online by patients who register for our facility Patient Access.

Repeat prescriptions can also be ordered via this service and patients can let us know when they need to update their contact details.

This service can also allow patients access to their medical records and may be particularly useful for those patients who need to regularly monitor test results. If you think this service would be of benefit to you, please contact Steve Quantick on 01643 703289 or steve.quantick@irnhamlodge.nhs.uk
